"I think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard."

Planters fresh off the potter's wheel. I use stamps and other tools to add patterns and texture to my work.

My glaze effects are often achieved by layering multiple glazes. It's always a bit of a surprise how they interact, blend, and streak on different forms.
Most of my work is thrown on the wheel, but I love making small slab-built trays for soap dishes and snack plates.

Test tiles marching on parade! I do lots of tests to see how the glazes interact with different clay bodies, and with each other.
